North Devon Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K
The North Devon Marathon, Half Marathon and 10K is organised by North Devon Hospice and takes place in Woolacombe on Sun 27 June 2027. The event centres on the Meadow Playing Fields (Woolacombe Football Club) where the race village and start and finish area are located.
Racing takes place across public footpaths, private land and rugged terrain along a coastal course. The event provides 12 designated water stations on course and uses chip timing with numbered race bibs. Marshalls are stationed along the route and first aid cover is provided by Apex Safety. The event is registered with the Fell Runners Association with licence numbers 2025-9138 and 2025-9137.
On race day the village offers registration, toilets, a merchandise stand for tech tees, a massage tent staffed by Petroc sports massage students, and food traders. Participating runners receive a bespoke finisher medal and a complimentary cream tea. Awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers for each distance; due to staggered starts awards are based on chip times rather than order across the line.
Entry is restricted to those aged over 18. The organisers asked runners to pledge to raise or donate £30 to support hospice services. The 2026 event sold out and priority access for 2027 was offered to interested participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
